Re: [Nyquist-users] Can play 1 note, not a sequence

[Roger D. <rb...@cs...>]

My guess is there are a couple of definitions of my-note floating 
around. You should check the definition (e.g. see GRINDEF) or redefine 
my-note to make sure you know how many parameters it takes. 
Using/learning about getting a stack trace from XLISP would also tell 
you exactly which function is a problem. -Roger
